Adapted from a screenplay penned by popular writer Anuja Chauhan, this Netflix movie, starring Arjun Kapoor, Neena Gupta and Rakul Preet Singh, is sure to tug at your heartstrings. As much a story of the subcontinent as the familial bond that ties us, Sardar Ka Grandson tells the tale of an ambitious grandson who is willing to go to any extent in order to fulfil his grandmother’s wish, even if it means literally moving his house from one country to the other!The official synopsis of the movie reads, “A story of a romance that spans seven decades and two countries, a story of sub-continental hustling and earthy ingenuity, a story of victory against impossible odds. ‘Sardar Ka Grandson’ is a strange and sweet tale where petty egos, religion, enmity, borders and oceans of red tape are all finally defeated by the simple humanity of one determined man.” Sardar Ka Grandson has been directed by Kaashvie Nair.
Arjun Kapoor said Ki and Ka and Sardar Ka Grandson are two of his “most favourite films”. He said while Ki and Ka was for his mother, Sardar Ka Grandson is for his grandmothers. Thanking debutant director Kaashvie Nair for giving him a film to cherish forever, Arjun said, “You gave me solid material that connected to me so deeply and instantly because of the story’s uncanny similarity with my grandparents’ lives in various ways.” The 35-year-old said the character of Sardar in the film is very similar to his maternal grandmother. “She was actually a riot when you interacted with her and I could see her in Sardar, every step of the way! I was literally living through various phases, emotions and memories, some mine, some theirs,” the actor wrote.
